Dan-- Thank you for that. My files did copy on a new Intrepid (non-Studio) partition. So I tried it, and DNS 10 did not fully install. I have printed the last few lines in case it suggests anything to you or anyone else. The file that seems to have the hardest time installing comes in two parts, called ENUGen~1.cab and ENUGen~2.cab. They are 166 and 415 MB, respectively. There is also a necessary ENU.cab file at 175 MB. fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC" fixme:msi:install_assembly Manifest unhandled fixme:msi:install_assembly Win32 assemblies not handled fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 560000 fixme:reg:RegSetKeySecurity :(0x48,4,0x3c5a50): stub fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC" err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated.
